'Chicago Fire' exec "optimistic" about season two, spinoff show

Chicago Fire exec Dick Wolf has revealed that he has long-term plans for the series.

Wolf told reporters at Monday's NBCU Press Day that the firefighter drama will "hopefully" be back for a second season, adding that he also has plans for a third run.

"This show is growing - hopefully, it's coming back," said the producer - best known for devising the Law & Order franchise.

"We are optimistically looking at the end of the [first] season as a jumping off point for next season."

In addition to a possible renewal, Chicago Fire may also get a spinoff series, with Tania Raymonde (Lost), Melissa Sagemiller (Law & Order: SVU) and Scott Eastwood among the stars attached to a cop-based show.
